Ive been doing 0.0 exploration since it first came out and is now prime income source
With faction warfare comming out, ive recently move back to empire for faction warfare when its released.
befor i start to bother with exploration back in empire (lowsec) , im wondering if its actually going to be worth it.
can u get good loots from the boss's?

I guess that you could get nice things, IF you are lucky, I have done many unknowns and radars, never earning more than 100 mil in a single site, and 20-30 mil on average.
So I dont know if its enough for you, probbably not as you dont get x-type stuff and such, which is normal in 0.0. But it can be nice, for a frig replacement in FW:).

I'd concur with the 20-30 milion for radar sites (the BPC drops I've gotten have been nearly worthless), the only consolation being they are reasonably common, I'd be very interested to hear about your experiences in 0.0 in turn :)

i scanned out and ran two Unknowns tonight.
both where equivelent to 0.0 plexs, but with each ship being one size smaller (battle ships where cruises) ect
no faction spawns(do u get them in low sec?) and no esclation.
so far seems rather unpromising
Edit: was in a 0.3 sec system

There are faction spawns even in highsec, it's just that they are usually frig or cruiser size if you're lucky

I've gotten two faction battleships in lowsec cosmic anomalies, they just dropped faction ammo and resistance plating (not the energized kind). That's out of about 80 lowsec cosmic anomalies though.
It is nice if you live in lowsec and need some easy money on the side, but it's certainly not a REASON to move to lowsec.

Before Trinity I used to do mining exploration in lowsec - I did find some good stuff - Gneiss sites are common, even after the refining hit from no/low standings and hauling it's still better ISK than Veldspar - best site I found was worth 500mil. Keep a close eye on the scanner for people probing you and it was worth the risk.
But since the introduction of HICs it's just too risky. A full rack of warp stabs won't help if your hauler gets caught outside the station and a single HIC can (and will) bottle your whole mining op inside the station until it decides to leave. Not to mention the risk the risk of randomly bumping into one at a gate (possible even with a scout, again, no amount of warp stabs will save you).
I've never done plexes though, save in highsec. Usually not worth beans, did get a nice (200+ mil) faction mod on a couple of occasions, but less than I would have made if I'd mined Veldspar the whole time instead of probing.

It's fairly profitable, some plexes can net you 200m ish, and radars on occasion give ship data int. blueprints.
